Alta Badia

From La Villa to San Cassiano and Armentarola on the Tru di artisć/Path of artists

Meget let

Relaxing walk by the refreshing waters of the Gadera stream and through shady conifer woods, sloping gently uphill from La Villa to the enchanting village of San Cassiano at the feet of the Lavarela and Conturines peaks.

Also ideal for families, the first part of the trail from La Villa is at the moment quite steep because of a deviation, therefore it is not advisable with strollers.

The Tru di Artisć/Path of Artists starts at the power house, goes along the Gadera stream and will lead you to the village of San Cassiano (1526 m) (50 min.). From here, you can continue in the same direction, slightly uphill at the start but then becoming more even, through the beautiful pastures until reaching Armentarola (1621 m) and the bus stop.
